Just 2 weeks after Nadya Suleman filed for two trademark applications to patent the phrase “Octomom,” so that she can use it on dresses, pants, shirts and diapers, Gloria Allred has filed a petition in Orange County Superior Court seeking a guardian to protect the financial interest of Nadya’s octuplets.

“Rather than choosing to provide her children with a normal life, their mother, Nadya Suleman, has chosen instead to commercially exploit them. We believe that the babies are entitled to remuneration, since much, if not most, of the compensation appears to be for the use of their images.”

Since bringing her babies home from the hospital, Suleman has allowed them to filmed on the celebrity website Radaronline, and a photo agency has released their images for sale. Suleman has also talked of signing a contract for a reality television show about her life raising octuplets and her six other children.

Gloria is acting on behalf of her client, Paul Peterson, the president of “A Minor Consideration,” a nonprofit formed to give support to young performers. He is seeking an order that would create separate bank accounts for the babies’ earnings and require Suleman to hire a professional agent for the babies, separate from her own agent.

Ms Allred needs to get a man. If she has one she needs to spend her time taking care of him. Ms Allred is the neighbor who is in everyones business. Ms Allred please start minding your own business and stay out of others. GOD does not make mistakes and this is the road he has chosen for Nadya so Ms Allred back off.
